Awesome launches gvim without path
I'm trying out awesome and have a problem: When I launch gvim with "mod4 + r + gvim" it doesn't read my user's path variable. When I run ":!echo $PATH" from such a gvim I get:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/core_perl
This means that I can't, for example, compile LaTeX documents from my gvim. If I launch gvim from a shell then everything is fine.
Is there a fix for this?

Re: Awesome launches gvim without path
You should launch your DE with the adjusted PATH. Or maybe insert that custom PATH in your DE's config (e17/e18 can do that).
Also, you could place it in ~/.pam_environment if you use PAM.
